I'm curious what kind of random issues you had.
Let's see what I remember... nothing major actually.
Toy Story Midway Mania broke down when we did it as our last ride of the day. We actually had already finished the ride when it broke, and we were just a few yards away from the exit. They have a whole procedure they have to do first before they let you get out, so we sat there awhile. It never moved again so we had to be evacuated on the track, which was pretty cool. To make it up to everyone, they scanned us for Anytime Fastpasses good for any park the next day. When she scanned us she had problems with her scanner so only mine showed up. We had already walked away at that point and had to head back (park was already closed but we were still in the general area). There were a few people there for the same reason. Not all got the green CHECK mark when they got scanned. She got a new scanner and re-scanned everyone but me (I wanted to be honest and told her mine showed up in the app already, even though I badly wanted another one. LOL). Then somehow later when we checked the app we got a total of 6. Not sure why 6 when it seemed like if the other three in my party got theirs twice it would have been 7 total. We actually wondered if she gave extra because we all had to go back to her again... (Especially since she tried to scan me again after I told her mine showed up in the app and theirs didn't.) Anyway... So that was SIX FPs.
Next morning I took a chance and went down to the front desk at Pop and just told a cast member what happened. I explained that now we didn't have an even amount and wondered if we could get two more to even it out. I actually thought she would say No, Sorry, but she offered to request approval for two more. She said if they got approved I would see them in the app later that day. When I checked (while at MK), we got an additional four instead of two. So now we had two extra again. We said "Oh well, that was a bonus" and we would just let our girls use them to go on whatever ride they wanted. So that was now TEN.
Then when we used them for 7DMT the FP scanners all turned green for us, but later when we checked the app we still had four Anytimes. No idea why. So that brought us up to FOURTEEN. So we used them again, and later we saw we still had three left. Not sure why only three... So anyway now we had three additional. No idea why. Maybe a glitch or the Disney gods loved us. We actually thought maybe she gave us unlimited FPs but when we checked again after we used them that was the end of it. So that was SEVENTEEN.
Then we went on Winnie the Pooh ride and it broke down before we could even get on. We were next on line. We got four more Anytimes for MK. We used them for a ride with a much longer wait time and went on Winnie the Pooh when the wait was short. So that's now at TWENTY-ONE.
Okay, wait....
I forgot we had an issue at Epcot. I went to buy popcorn while my daughter made a purchase at the Seas with my husband and other daughter. She has charging privileges on her MB. They left the store and were about 30 feet away when the cast member chased after them saying they didn't actually pay. My husband said it was somewhat embarrassing. Because my daughter didn't want a bag for her purchase (a plush) it probably looked to others like they tried to walk out without paying. The cast member insisted that kids don't have charging privileges and it didn't go through so she made my husband scan his MB even though he told her that she's been using it for over a week. Then she told him that didn't go through and he tried paying with his Disney Visa card. That didn't go through. ??? Probably because it was already paid by MB, because it did eventually show as paid and they got the plush and left. Anyway.... He told me what happened while we were waiting to meet Baymax. I checked the room charges in the app and sure enough it was charged twice. (He didn't know he could check that, and they didn't tell him.) He had to go all the way back there for the refund. The manager who saw what happened earlier helped him. He had to wait while they called Pop to reverse it. They couldn't just "refund" him for some reason. So to make it up to him the manager gave us 4 Anytime FPs for Test Track (she asked which ride he wanted).
So we actually got TWENTY-FIVE anytime FPs.
